Are there breeds of fantail pigeons that would be have in a LARGE outdoor aviary (like 100+ sq ft)? In the further future I could see owning some ONLY IF they would be happy birds. I have been told some breeds of fantail can't fly well. Thank you.

Welcome! I have made this thread specifically to show off your lofts, aviaries, and other setups for the pigeons and doves of BYC. The chickens have their stunning and elaborate coops flaunted, so why can't we do the same? It's simple... Just post some pictures of your setup (and maybe show...
